NSA insider to succeed George Barnes as agency’s deputy director appeared on therecord.media by therecord.media.
A longtime civilian leader at the National Security Agency and Defense Department has been selected as the successor to NSA Deputy Director George Barnes.
Wendy Noble most recently served as a senior DOD official overseeing foreign partnerships. From 2019-22 Noble worked as the NSA’s executive director, its No. 2 civilian position.
Noble will be the 3rd woman to hold the deputy director position in the 70-plus year history of the spy agency.
As deputy director Noble will function as the NSA’s chief operating officer, the agency said in a press release. She will manage how the agency executes its strategy, establish policy, oversee operations, and supervise the senior civilian leadership. Noble also will be tasked with supporting what the press release referred to as the U.S. “defense and intelligence enterprise in the formulation of national security policies.”
As executive director at the agency, Noble managed operational strategies and put policies in place, the release said.
Barnes held the deputy director position for six years.
“I am confident in Wendy’s ability to lead NSA as the next Deputy Director,” Gen. Paul Nakasone, the agency’s director, said in a prepared statement. “She has consistently been recognized for her outstanding contributions and dedication to our mission.”
The change comes as Nakasone prepares to retire. His expected successor atop the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command — Air Force Lt. Gen. Timothy Haugh — is currently caught up in a months-long political blockade in the Senate.
Army Maj. Gen. William Hartman, who is President Joe Biden’s pick to serve as the No. 2 leader at Cyber Command, is similarly awaiting action on his nomination in the Senate.
